Background: We describe a series of previously unreported, distinctive, polypoid solitary T-cell-rich cutaneous pseudolymphomas. Methods: The clinicopathologic features were examined in 17 cases. Results: Patient ages ranged from 16 to 71 years (mean = 38.5) with female predominance (female : male 14 3). All lesions, clinically diagnosed most often as pyogenic granuloma, presented solitary, polypoid, erythematous, papule ranging size 2.5 7.5 mm 5.8). Most occurred on the head and neck (7)...

Controversy exists about the relationship of borrelia infection with B-cell lymphomas because clonality has been identified in infiltrates that contained borrelia-specific DNA. Systematic clinicopathological, immunophenotypical and molecular pathological studies early borreliosis are lacking.(i) To clarify whether clonal populations present already skin (erythema migrans); (ii) to re-evaluate criteria for diagnosis erythema migrans.Study 34 patients migrans confirmed by polymerase chain...

Mucinous cutaneous adnexal tumors are an uncommon occurrence. We describe three cases of mucinous hidradenoma characterized by diffuse and prominent cell proliferation discuss the relevant literature. The patients (two men one woman) ranged in age from 32 to 72 years. lesions were completely excised, all alive without evidence disease (follow-up interval 3-4 years). Case 1 presented as a 1.3-cm eyelid nodule histology showed apocrine with cells glands. 2, shoulder 40-year-old man, was 2.5-cm...

A 61-year-old man with Fitzpatrick skin phototype IV presented to us initially LPP but eventually also developed vitiligo....
